That the house will reverse its action of last night, when It voted to permit American owned ships engaged in coastwise trade to pass free of tolls through the Panama canal was the prediction here today of representative W.

Discussing the bill, Adamson said to day: " ' 'The vote last nlitht was close.- I think that, after the advocates of free tolls have had time to deliberate, they wlll reversa themselves and charge, all hips, irrespective of nationality toe the privilege of using the canal." The Pacific coast delegation, how ever, is confident that the final - vote will show that a majority still favor the Doremus substitute amendment, which provides free tolls for coastwise vessels.
